@@robjohnson8861 hey look, it's Rob, Mr. I comment yet no gives a crap about my edited comments Johnson. Think it's time to delete the channel champ, no one cares what you have to say anymore now you've bad talked Brook Berringer.
Only by looking back on it can you appreciate just how great that Husker team was. Warren Sapp AND Ray Lewis on the same college defense? And Nebraska had to win a road game against them to get the national championship?
My bro-in-law had one of the offensive linemen as a classmate at Nebraska after this season. He asked him, "How good were you guys, really?" He said, "Well, I'll put it this way... We'd line up, tell the defense what play we're gonna run -- 'Tommie's running right' -- and we'd still get ten or twenty yards."
@@BarracksSi I've heard of those same stories about the O-line, that they would tell the opposing D-line the actual play and which gap the ball was going to go through.
"And Nebraska had to win a road game against them to get the national championship" lol. Home field advantage is 3-7 pts depending on who you read. Most of the game, the players tune the fans out. Home Field Advantage for 92-94 Canes' bowls 92, -7 lost by 21 93, -7 lost by 29 and, cough, didn't score. 94, +7 pts, lost by 7 Miami was not the same team Erickson's last 3 yrs (his recruits in all 3), but he still was almost able to beat the jackass from Lincoln.
Just in. Neb94 had the weakest schedule of any of the NCs in the 90s. Erickson just sucked in bowls with his players. This game means jack historically.
"never unfocused, always disciplined" except, cough, when the NC is on the line. "If I don't go for the win, I won't win the NC" Fear consumed him. Wouldn't in the trenches discipline have guided him there. You know, trust the process. or as a phD in Psychology, wouldn't a disciplined professional know that Phillips personality was formed by the time he was 7. Giving Phillips "structure" by playing him wasn't going to do a damn thing except help pad Osborne's chances for another NC. I would bet 98% of the psychologists that saw him make that decision said. "that's a mistake." Phillips probably assumed that Osborne was gonna be pissed, but still disrespected the uniform and attacked Kate. And Osborne knew that fact when he let him back on the field. Poor stupid Osborne, a career littered with blunders.
I have attended a lot of Husker games in my life, but this one is my all time favorite. Still have the ticket stub. Being in the Orange Bowl when Tom Osborne beat Miami and won his first national championship was truly special.
LOOK AT THESE 2 TEAMS.....THESE WERE THE 2 BEST TEAMS WITH THE BEST ATHLETES WITH THE MOST DISCIPLINE!!!!FOR ALL YOU PENN STATE CRIERS....BOTH THESE 2 TEAMS WOULDA PUT A BEATDOWN ON PENN ST THAT YR....
I had tears running down my face I was so happy and felt so good for coach osborne one of greatest football coaches ever in college football the man was just brilliant when it came to football and a very smart man in general a great nebraskans!!! GBR!!!
I was in tenth grade when this occurred. Miami jumped out 10-0 and the entire state of NE was like here we go again! But this was the first Osborne team that brought a FAST defense to the orange bowl. This was evident the year before when they shut down Charlie Ward and the FSU offense.
Collinsworth finally got it. The plays where Sapp made the tackles for loss were designed to leave him unblocked, but he was too quick. However, as the game wore on, he wore down...... :)
Exactly what TO was counting on. An option team has to beat a defense like Miami's by making it a battle of attrition. In the 1984 Orange Bowl, he let Turner Gill throw 31 times, including the decisive play. But the Huskers couldn't beat Miami by playing like Miami, and that is exactly what Collinsworth wanted them to do until he finally understood the strategy.
Actually those fourth quarter tackles butt Sapp were setting those fb trap , the 2tds by schlenger were coming I couldn't believe they didn't see that, and yes by that time that defense was to tired.
@@johncate9541 Collinsworth was and is a pamperbutt. I saw him play in college and I saw how rail thin he was. In my old neighborhood, they would just let him catch balls until several guys could hit him and once, and do so much damage he never played again. The fact that it never happened in college with much, much bigger guys on defense tells me all I need to know about how 'great' he was.
Because the defense was on the field almost the entire second half!!! They were completely gassed on the last two drives!!! Miami actually does something offensively in the second half and this game has a much different outcome.
I watched this game on a dark, rainy Seattle New Years Day in in 1995. I was 9 years old and will never forget it. Tommie Frazier was my hero. That’s the day I really became a Husker fan, taking after the rest of my fam. RIP Brook and Lawrence. Huskers Forever!
That 94 & 95 team has to be the most dominate team ever. This game was the Huskers were simply in better shape and wore them the Canes down. Much respect for Coach Osbourne sticking to his guns and never going away from there strengths and grinding the Cane's defense down. Most coaches would have panicked and changed up.
I forgot how annoying and terrible Collingsworth was. Sapp is too quick, cannot block him. The Nebraska offense can't afford to run any more option, the Miami defense is just too quick. You are going to see Berringer back in. A few option plays later "touchdown Nebraska!" Great team effort. Great game. Great ending. RIP Lawrence Phillips.

@@javiervasquez85 lol, somehow I choose your thread to reply to by accident. But while Im here. 2.5 titles. MI got the more prestigious AP poll in 97 and MI was 3 votes form consensus Neb, cough, was 31 votes from consensus
@@javiervasquez85 if you look around you see where I list the reasons the MI absolutely deserved the 97 NC. * against baylor, against CO, who won by more and allowed neither score a TD * who had stronger strength of sch * who didn't have to go overtime to beat an unranked team * who had best defense * who had the Heisman on their team. Body of work against worthy competition goes in that vote. And who had the best offense? But on further review. Mi's best win was against IN Up by 31, Carr pulls Griese. Neb's best win was against Iowa St Up by 56, Osborne pulled Frost. I just looked at the one game, but I would bet in every game Frost was in longer padding those offensive numbers. And MI started their games hours be Neb, hence, Neb got to see what they needed to do. MI's bowl game was 24 hrs bef Neb's.
My first night in my new apartment in downtown Baltimore. The landlord called and said he was definitely kicking us out. I had to explain it was a one time thing, that our Huskers had finally done it in my lifetime.
Class vs Crass. Hard to believe this was 24 years ago. Makes me wonder if Dr. Tom would have stayed on for a few more years how he would have adjusted to the 'modern' game of the late 90's/early 00's. Could he still have recruited for the running game? NU was my 2d fav college team behind my Okla State Cowboys. I had the privilege of seeing NU come to Stillwater in 1996. We were throttled. I can say I watched the greatest college fb of all time. FU, Saban.
This was arguably Miami's best defensive team they ever had. Two future NFL Defensive Players of the Year. And Nebraska stomped them in the 4th quarter.
That 4th quarter Miami was HUFFING AND PUFFING!! the physical pounding Nebraska put on Warren Saap and Ray Lewis was more then impressive.. what a team. What a program. Love the Power I option. And man we had a defense too!!!
@@sorney98 so you believe with all your ittleness that she was ok with him and his turning a blind eye to dead man phliips? You have absolutely no integrity.
@@mas5867 considering Osborne actually told everyone to stop seeing each other when she came to him the first time, yet she kept seeing Phillips. Also Osborne does still stay in contact with her. When you're a coach, you recruit a player, they feel they have to do what they can to help them no matter what. So to you they should throw any player out the door and forget them, never try to help straighten them out? If that's the case, why aren't you going after Dick Vermiel the old Rams coach? He was still trying to help Phillips as well. I'll say this hope you don't have kids that run into this problem
Not to mention Miami's offense didn't do jack in the second half. They kept going 3 and out. Miami's defense was on the field almost that entire half. That's why they faltered at the end. They were gassed and clearly not in shape to go the distance while Nebraska was. Tom Osborne had his players run a full practice including wind sprints ON CHRISTMAS DAY. Miami took the holiday off. Word is, Miami defensive players were so tired at the end, they couldn't get their arms up to make tackles

Watch Alabama play and tell me there aren't some freak studs especially on defense playing for them now......game has changed but not the fact good players make good teams
This game is long and forgotten, but Warren Sapp holding hand to ear, then later, sucking air makes it awesome for me. I admit, he was a good deal in the NFL though.
Sapp matured as a person and a player in the NFL I must admit. After the comments he made before this game saying Nebraska wan’t even qualified to play against Miami or something like that it was pure joy watching suck for air in the 4th quarter.
@@jscottbell227 - _"Sapp matured as a person and a player in the NFL..."_ * On multiple occasions during his career, Sapp taunted opposing teams by skipping amidst their team warm-ups. Immediately following one of these instances (where Sapp was warned, but not fined) Sapp crashed into a referee while running onto the field, triggering a $50,000 fine and Sapp to mockingly say of the NFL, "It's a slave system. Slavemaster say you can't do it, don't do it." * After a dirty blind-side hit on the Packers' Chad Clifton, leaving him lying on the ground with a severe pelvic injury, Sapp pranced around like he'd just cured cancer. He then profanely mouthed-off about Packers' coach Mike Sherman who confronted Sapp over his cheap shot after the game. * Sapp got himself thrown out of a game for gesturing, swearing and physically contacting ref Jerome Boger, earning THREE unsportsmanlike penalties on one play. * In 2010, Sapp was arrested for domestic battery. * In 2010 Sapp had a nearly-$1M judgment against him vs PNC Bank. He was found to owe the IRS another nearly-$1M for back taxes. And was $875,000+ delinquent on alimony and child support. That's known as a dead-beat dad. * In 2012, Sapp filed for bankruptcy. * In 2015, Sapp was arrested in connection with soliciting and assaulting two prostitutes. He got an amazing plea deal to avoid jail time. * Later in 2015, Sapp took a plea deal to avoid jail time for another domestic violence case, after knocking an ex-girlfriend down and stepping on her head. I'm curious as to what you think the definition of the word "matured" is. At least you didn't try to say that Sapp was intelligent.

I still think that 1984 Orange Bowl was one of the greatest games I ever saw, The drama in that game, Mike Rozier gers hurt and is out the rest of the game, Cornhuskers trail 31-24 and on 4& 8 Jeff Smith scores a dramatic TD to make it 31-30 and Tom Osborne showing tremendous Guts goes for 2 when a Tie would have won him his first National Title, inclomplete pass Miami wins, I still think Turner Gill rushed the pass because Jeff Smith broke open, still what an amazing game, I believe that The Cornhuskers destroys Miami if they played that game on any other field except that one, Miami was very tough in that Orange Bowl.
@@joannleichliter4308 Sweet revenge for The Cornhuskers and Tom Osborne in 95 Orange 🍊 Bowl, I wasn't a Cornhuskers fan but I hated Miami and was incredibly happy for Tom Osborne, one of the classiest Coaches in College Football.
Not sure on the amount of people would have argued with Collinsworth when he made his comments about Tommie and Brooke. Glad it worked out the way it did!
Take Note Pellini: Osborne, Frazier and Phillips were magicians. The sleight of hand was deceivingly perfected and using the fullback every once in a while was so, so effective.
Narrator: "Pelini would not, in fact, take any notes, and would go on to get fired from Nebraska, Youngstown State, and finally as defensive coordinator at LSU after his defenses were continually, savagely beaten by even average teams like Minnesota and Wisconsin. The End." :|
I mean, to be fair to Collinsworth, when Warren Sapp and Ray Lewis make consecutive plays stopping Frazier for a loss, it would be hard to think in that moment that he was not right. Hindsight's 20/20, I guess. Also: The Rock sighting at 1:43
You're right, they should have also included loud shitting noises to match what was going on in the pants of the Miami defense in the last 6 minutes of the game.
Winning isn't everything. We love our team. Win or lose. I also doubt we'll ever have any team like we did when Osborne was our coach. But nothing good ever lasts forever.
You won this with a 2nd tier coach in a conference that folded the next year. Which variable contributed the most to Nebs' mid 90s success? Since Osborne's success came during the Big Easy's existence, we will never know. If we will never know, how can anyone claim him great?
@@mas5867 What's wrong @Rob Johnson, your other account finally get banned? HAHAHAH REKT! You calling people a "troll" when you run around with two accounts Rob Johnson. that's rich. Maybe go get an education at a real college, and learn what a comparative fallacy is. You haven't a clue.
This was a strange situation this year; this game was played on Sunday Night January 1st after a day of NFL games, while the rest of the bowl games were played the following day, including unbeaten Penn State's Rose Bowl game. It made that day totally anti-climactic. It is the only time I can ever remember the national title having already been decided before most of the major bowl games were played.
It is Collingsworth's job to call it like he sees it, and 17-9 in the fourth quarter, it indeed looked like the Miami defense was too fast to run the option against with success. Looks like a huge key to the game was the Nebraska defense. They held Miami's offense and kept putting the Miami defense back on the field. It looks like the fast Miami defense just got tired and stopped tackling. That pitch to Phillips should have been a loss except for poor tackling. The cut back run by Frazier had no backside pursuit and poor tackling, and the defense looked like it didn't even want to tackle the big fullback. Great example of why you want to stick with the run. It can eventually tire out the defense. A great sign of a defense that is ready to get beat is one that celebrates after making tackles on 1st and 2nd down.
Schlessenger, affectionately named "Cornfed," that night, was just awesome... Not a Husker's fan, but I rooted for Tom Osbourne that night.. BTW, the FIRST thing you must stop in the option, is the up back!.. lol..
Brenden Stai silences Warren sapp...the 1995 team gets all the attention it rightfully earned, however regarding the offensive line group, I’m persuaded this 1994 line was the best in CFB history... I can’t find a team that had 3 all Americans and the Outland trophy winner on the SAME line at same time..I hear how modern CFB players are stronger and faster Tóday then in the 1990s...I disagree 1000%..look at these men..really look.. Yes today’s linemen are 300 pounds just like this 1994 squad, however had you seen a modern, 300 pound line who can Sprint 5 yards as fast the tailbacks ...? No..and are under 26% body fat..? No..these fellas are absolutely peculiar..
They just beat the shit out of Sapp and Lewis in the last 2/3 of the 4th quarter. Literally…..Osborne talks about it in several interviews how he knew they would own the 4th. But really, the Defense slammed the door.
@RandyMossfan111 Learn before speaking. Schlesinger was an 11 year vet, 3 time pro bowl, all madden team. Dishman played 8 years, Aaron Green played 7 years. Oh, and there's that one guy Ahman Green that just happens to be the all-time leading rusher for the packers. Winstrom. Peters. Other than Lewis & Sapp, I don't even recognize anyone on the 95 Miami roster. Granted, it's hard to find the thing since no one cares about it.
Nobody on the Miami defense was paying any attention to the big, burly, white dude, #40, with the neck roll I might add...Schlesinger two TDs to help tie and then put the Huskers ahead!

MI was 3 votes form consensus
Neb, cough, was 31 votes from consensus
Lol you're good. Fair points. That was a hell of a team the Wolverines had in '97. I'm a USC guy, but I can appreciate dominant teams from that era.
@@javiervasquez85 if you look around you see where I list the reasons the MI absolutely deserved the 97 NC.
* against baylor, against CO, who won by more and allowed neither score a TD
* who had stronger strength of sch
* who didn't have to go overtime to beat an unranked team
* who had best defense
* who had the Heisman on their team. Body of work against worthy competition goes in that vote.
And who had the best offense? But on further review.
Mi's best win was against IN
Up by 31, Carr pulls Griese.
Neb's best win was against Iowa St
Up by 56, Osborne pulled Frost.
I just looked at the one game, but I would bet in every game Frost was in longer padding those offensive numbers.
And MI started their games hours be Neb, hence, Neb got to see what they needed to do. MI's bowl game was 24 hrs bef Neb's.
I LOVE THE CRYING AT THE END! 😫😫😫😫👶👶👶👶👶😩😩
My first night in my new apartment in downtown Baltimore. The landlord called and said he was definitely kicking us out. I had to explain it was a one time thing, that our Huskers had finally done it in my lifetime.
Class vs Crass.
Hard to believe this was 24 years ago. Makes me wonder if Dr. Tom would have stayed on for a few more years how he would have adjusted to the 'modern' game of the late 90's/early 00's. Could he still have recruited for the running game?
NU was my 2d fav college team behind my Okla State Cowboys. I had the privilege of seeing NU come to Stillwater in 1996. We were throttled. I can say I watched the greatest college fb of all time. FU, Saban.

This was arguably Miami's best defensive team they ever had. Two future NFL Defensive Players of the Year. And Nebraska stomped them in the 4th quarter.
Both played in the previous bowl and Let AZ score 29 points.

That 4th quarter Miami was HUFFING AND PUFFING!! the physical pounding Nebraska put on Warren Saap and Ray Lewis was more then impressive.. what a team. What a program. Love the Power I option. And man we had a defense too!!!
HAD is the KEY word. Now you’re a Big Ten punching bag.

Just Insane! GO.BIG.RED
Nebraska vs Penn State would have been epic that year. Both teams were great. Outcome would’ve been a toss up.
Huskers by 21
That all depends on if the refs changed the shape of the end zone,
This game was the pinnacle of Nebraska fòotball. All of the 22 years of it. Gone in 3 plays.
I'm a Miami fan. But I have a ton of respect for Nebraska. Here's to both programs becoming dominant again.
Tom Osborne is the greatest coach of all time. The complete embodiment of class act and a great human being.

@@sorney98 so you believe with all your ittleness that she was ok with him and his turning a blind eye to dead man phliips? You have absolutely no integrity.
@@mas5867 considering Osborne actually told everyone to stop seeing each other when she came to him the first time, yet she kept seeing Phillips. Also Osborne does still stay in contact with her.
When you're a coach, you recruit a player, they feel they have to do what they can to help them no matter what.
So to you they should throw any player out the door and forget them, never try to help straighten them out? If that's the case, why aren't you going after Dick Vermiel the old Rams coach? He was still trying to help Phillips as well. I'll say this hope you don't have kids that run into this problem
@@mas5867 shut up rob Johnson, everyone knows this is you
Sapp, Lewis, and all that dancing around in the Florida heat got them in the end, and the Huskers ran right through em!
Not to mention Miami's offense didn't do jack in the second half. They kept going 3 and out. Miami's defense was on the field almost that entire half. That's why they faltered at the end. They were gassed and clearly not in shape to go the distance while Nebraska was. Tom Osborne had his players run a full practice including wind sprints ON CHRISTMAS DAY. Miami took the holiday off.
Word is, Miami defensive players were so tired at the end, they couldn't get their arms up to make tackles
@@tshand1024 Blah, blah and blah. Miami's offense in their previous bowl against AZ never made it past AZ's 40 yd line. AZ 29, Miami 0.

Bump this game!! Lol Sapp and Lewis were gassed!! Coach Osborne used Frazier to perfection! One of the toughest loses as a Canes fan I can remember. Sadly even if Miami would have won Penn St would have still been champions .
On that last TD, the blocking was three yards downfield when Schlesinger met Frazier, and five by the time he had both hands on the ball.
Back when only at Nebraska could a FB dive be that effective. Go Big Red!
That offensive line of Nebraska was one of the best ever. They wore out Miami, simple as that.

The Nebraska defense played great. They got off the field on 3rd down. Eventually the Miami defense was worn down in the 4th quarter. Miami couldn’t keep their defense fresh. And Nebraska made them pay.
The ending was epic! So glad we got redemption on those cocky canes! Also big shout out to Brook Beringger! RIP!!!! GBR!!!

This game is long and forgotten, but Warren Sapp holding hand to ear, then later, sucking air makes it awesome for me. I admit, he was a good deal in the NFL though.
Huskerliving well said. But huskers got the best of him. Frazier.
Sapp matured as a person and a player in the NFL I must admit. After the comments he made before this game saying Nebraska wan’t even qualified to play against Miami or something like that it was pure joy watching suck for air in the 4th quarter.
Don't ask me where I've been Warren, ask me where I'm going.
@@jscottbell227 - _"Sapp matured as a person and a player in the NFL..."_
* On multiple occasions during his career, Sapp taunted opposing teams by skipping amidst their team warm-ups. Immediately following one of these instances (where Sapp was warned, but not fined) Sapp crashed into a referee while running onto the field, triggering a $50,000 fine and Sapp to mockingly say of the NFL, "It's a slave system. Slavemaster say you can't do it, don't do it."
* After a dirty blind-side hit on the Packers' Chad Clifton, leaving him lying on the ground with a severe pelvic injury, Sapp pranced around like he'd just cured cancer. He then profanely mouthed-off about Packers' coach Mike Sherman who confronted Sapp over his cheap shot after the game.
* Sapp got himself thrown out of a game for gesturing, swearing and physically contacting ref Jerome Boger, earning THREE unsportsmanlike penalties on one play.
* In 2010, Sapp was arrested for domestic battery.
* In 2010 Sapp had a nearly-$1M judgment against him vs PNC Bank. He was found to owe the IRS another nearly-$1M for back taxes. And was $875,000+ delinquent on alimony and child support. That's known as a dead-beat dad.
* In 2012, Sapp filed for bankruptcy.
* In 2015, Sapp was arrested in connection with soliciting and assaulting two prostitutes. He got an amazing plea deal to avoid jail time.
* Later in 2015, Sapp took a plea deal to avoid jail time for another domestic violence case, after knocking an ex-girlfriend down and stepping on her head.

You're right, they should have also included loud shitting noises to match what was going on in the pants of the Miami defense in the last 6 minutes of the game.

Sapp lived in the backfield during this game....i remembered.
This was a strange situation this year; this game was played on Sunday Night January 1st after a day of NFL games, while the rest of the bowl games were played the following day, including unbeaten Penn State's Rose Bowl game. It made that day totally anti-climactic. It is the only time I can ever remember the national title having already been decided before most of the major bowl games were played.
I would have missed this on a multiple choice. I cannot remember a Sun night college game.
@@mas5867 yet no one cares if you would of missed it or not.
It is Collingsworth's job to call it like he sees it, and 17-9 in the fourth quarter, it indeed looked like the Miami defense was too fast to run the option against with success.
Looks like a huge key to the game was the Nebraska defense. They held Miami's offense and kept putting the Miami defense back on the field. It looks like the fast Miami defense just got tired and stopped tackling. That pitch to Phillips should have been a loss except for poor tackling. The cut back run by Frazier had no backside pursuit and poor tackling, and the defense looked like it didn't even want to tackle the big fullback.
Great example of why you want to stick with the run. It can eventually tire out the defense.
A great sign of a defense that is ready to get beat is one that celebrates after making tackles on 1st and 2nd down.
Schlessenger, affectionately named "Cornfed," that night, was just awesome... Not a Husker's fan, but I rooted for Tom Osbourne that night..
BTW, the FIRST thing you must stop in the option, is the up back!.. lol..
His nickname was "tard" back in the day
Classic game. The Rematch.
Tommy Frazier Best Quarterback Ever
Brenden Stai silences Warren sapp...the 1995 team gets all the attention it rightfully earned, however regarding the offensive line group, I’m persuaded this 1994 line was the best in CFB history... I can’t find a team that had 3 all Americans and the Outland trophy winner on the SAME line at same time..I hear how modern CFB players are stronger and faster Tóday then in the 1990s...I disagree 1000%..look at these men..really look..
Yes today’s linemen are 300 pounds just like this 1994 squad, however had you seen a modern, 300 pound line who can Sprint 5 yards as fast the tailbacks ...? No..and are under 26% body fat..? No..these fellas are absolutely peculiar..
Don't think that Zach Weigert guy was bad, either.
I loved Tom Hammond. He's a quality announcer,
Collinsworth had a Bottom Ten foreshodowing in Sports, ever. Worse news is that his kid looks and sounds like him and is employed by the network.
If ever there should have been a plus one, this was the year.
Don't ask me where I've been Warren, ask me where I'm going.
Schlesinger frickin beast.
They just beat the shit out of Sapp and Lewis in the last 2/3 of the 4th quarter. Literally…..Osborne talks about it in several interviews how he knew they would own the 4th. But really, the Defense slammed the door.
Don't cheat on the outside! You gonna get the Full Back😊

@ProtusMose Dude, I'm from NE, still live here, and played for them in the mid 90's, I was being sarcastic.......
@ProtusMose : I'm with you, but Ahman Green was not on the 1994-95 Cornhuskers because he was a senior in high school at that time.
@RandyMossfan111 Learn before speaking. Schlesinger was an 11 year vet, 3 time pro bowl, all madden team. Dishman played 8 years, Aaron Green played 7 years. Oh, and there's that one guy Ahman Green that just happens to be the all-time leading rusher for the packers. Winstrom. Peters. Other than Lewis & Sapp, I don't even recognize anyone on the 95 Miami roster. Granted, it's hard to find the thing since no one cares about it.
Nobody on the Miami defense was paying any attention to the big, burly, white dude, #40, with the neck roll I might add...Schlesinger two TDs to help tie and then put the Huskers ahead!
don't forget the crew cut!!!
